Guard your time. Let the kids wait until you're ready to come and greet them. Let them pick up their paper on the way in so you don't have to take the time to hand them out.
Use an advanced organizer on the board and give instructions to let the kids pick up their own papers, etc.
No name or class period goes in the 'Whose is this?' basket. Absent kids check their class periods' folder for work. Extra copies of handouts go in the 'shoe holder' on the wall. This way, absent students can find what they need when they return.
